well taught

It was clear and useful.

It is a good, efficient, brief and clean course for understanding the basics in GD&T. The animations and explanations are clear and understandable. It could have more information about various symbols and features, but it is very good for beginners. I really like the course and I recommend it for people who want to start learning the GD&T. Thank you Steve and Ben.

Wish It had more content!
By Richard George on 9/19/2020
This course was informative, but upon completing it, you are only more sure of what GD&T is, not really how to use it. The course is called "Basic", but upon completing a basic course, one should leave with enough skill to operate at a basic level. I would call this course "An Introduction", a good introduction, but an introduction - none the less.

Quick and precise, GD&T mechanism.

Its really a good course. expecting some more information to be added
By Ronald Manning on 6/25/2020
While I've been exposed to alot of the information from reading already, this course did a great job of bringing it all together in a meaningful way. Well done!!
By Anoop MG on 6/9/2020
It was a good course for understanding the basics and requirements of GD&T. Would love to have more symbols explained in the same course with another example or so. For advanced lessons, we should definitely get a new course, but this can lay down the base.
By Victor Isac on 6/6/2020
Course was clearly explained, quizzes were a good addition.
Although I know the course was advertised as only 45min., I wish more material were covered.
